Ever since I was burned by Fallout 4 I've been incredibly skeptical of Bethesda games and so watching the Starfield showcase and it really just looks like Fallout 4 in space. Yet I'm seeing praise being heaped on it. I'm not crazy am I?

Oh yeah, bland as fuck. And the gunplay looked like trash. Bet it's got that good, good Bethesda writing, too.

I can't wait for the story climax where you are presented with 2 buttons labeled "Free Ice Cream and Ponies for Everyone" and "Begin the Fourth Reich" which will be hailed by critics and fans as a "deep and meaningful moral choice" and ferociously defended by fanboys the way Fallout 3 is now

And a lot of edgelords will unironically support the Fourth Reich option and quote it online a lot. :doomer:

Every time someone tries to argue that Caesar was the lesser evil.

I feel like they were trying to write the Legion to be somewhat grey, to make the player weigh stability and protection from raiders against the brutal but effecient methods of the Legion, but that's not what ended up in the game.
